Notes:	This article presents findings from a [US] study that explored why victims of domestic violence withdraw or recant prosecution efforts. The researchers analysed telephone calls between male perpetrators currently in a detention facility and their female victims. Findings indicated that victim withdrawal was most directly to perpetrators appeal to sympathy by describing personal suffering, poor jail conditions, and the difficulty of life without his partner. This was further supported by the perpetrator’s minimisation of the abuse and the couple envisioning life without one another. After the decision to withdraw, the victim and perpetrator constructed plans.
